# Build a report

> Choose a data source, select columns, and apply filters to build a report.

Reports are structured data exports built from a query against one of your connected data sources. Unlike dashboards, reports focus on tabular output—useful for sharing raw numbers, generating audit trails, or feeding downstream processes.

## Create a report

1. Go to **Analytics → Reports → New report**.
2. Give the report a descriptive name.
3. Select a data source.
4. In the query builder, choose the columns to include.

## Select and configure columns

Click **Add column** and select a field from your data source. For each column you can:

* **Rename** the display header without changing the underlying field name.
* **Apply an aggregation** (sum, count, average, min, max) if the column is numeric.
* **Format** the output (number of decimal places, date format, currency symbol).

Drag columns to reorder them in the output.

## Apply filters

Filters restrict the rows included in the report. To add a filter:

1. Click **Add filter** in the filter panel.
2. Select a field, an operator, and a value.
3. Add as many filters as needed—they are combined with AND logic by default.

For OR logic, click **Switch to OR** to change how filters are combined within a group.

## Group and sort

**Grouping** collapses rows that share the same value in a field, combining their metrics through aggregation.

**Sorting** orders output rows. Click a column header to sort ascending, click again to sort descending. You can sort by multiple columns by holding Shift while clicking.

<Info>
  Grouping and aggregation must be consistent—if you group by a field, all other selected columns must either be grouped or aggregated.

## Preview and save

Click **Preview** to run the report against a sample of your data before saving. Once satisfied, click **Save report**. The report is now available in your Reports library and can be scheduled for delivery.
